Running a proper daycare background check is not only the law for employers, but many parents also perform personal background checks on individuals and businesses where their children will be cared for and taught.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, this is easier than many people realize, thanks to databases that can be searched instantly.<\/p>\n
Because of how background check laws work, permission is not needed when conducting a check for personal reasons such as looking into daycare workers. However,\u00a0employers\u00a0<\/em>at daycare centers\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>need permission to check applicants.<\/p>\n This updated guide is designed to help anyone understand the background check process for daycare workers, which can help eliminate any issues before they show up.<\/p>\n A background check for daycare workers is a little bit unique compared to a standard background check that someone might expect from a pre-employment background check. It\u2019s more like a caregiver background check.<\/p>\n With a daycare background check, the standard searches will be performed as well as a few additional checks (special databases) that are specific for those who are working with children. They are also useful when combined with child abuse background checks.<\/p>\n Standard checks that will be a part of what shows up on employment related background check include:<\/p>\n Each state has slightly different regulations for what types of checks are required for those working with children, but most states include the following additional checks:<\/p>\n Not only are these the common checks required of childcare workers, but in many cases these daycare background checks are required by law to be performed<\/em> on anyone that is working around children, such as school janitors and other jobs that involve close proximity to children.<\/p>\n Background checks for daycare employees are ensured by both state and federal laws that require certain checks be performed through a variety of government agencies before someone can work in a daycare.<\/p>\n Technically, the check falls under the jurisdiction of the state, and each state has various processes and search tools that are employed.<\/p>\n Although some states are still working on implementing it, there is a new federal law that dictates the minimum checks that childcare and daycare facilities must perform on all employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n This law applies to everyone who works in childcare or at a daycare facility, even if they are not employees, which means that childcare volunteers are also required to undergo the same criminal history and background verification checks.<\/p>\n The federal laws surrounding a daycare background check are fairly new, which means that many states are still working to implement them.<\/b> However, a number of states already have specific laws in place concerning what kind of checks must be run on anyone who works with children.<\/p>\n More information on state laws about daycare and nanny background checks is provided below.<\/p>\n Federal laws also dictate who must get a background check as well. In general, anyone who will have unsupervised access to any children at a daycare facility must receive a full and comprehensive background check. This means that volunteers, administrators or any other employees will likely need a level 2 background check. Even if it is unlikely that the individual will be around children unsupervised, most facilities will still require the employee undergo these checks.<\/p>\nWhat is Searched in a Background Check for Daycare Workers?<\/h2>\n
